Oklahoma (7-1) vs. Texas Tech (5-3) Game Preview

One Reason Why Oklahoma Will Win

Texas did it, but it did it with power, ball control and defense. If Texas Tech cranks up the offense in a track meet, good … luck.

The Red Raider secondary that has had a few nice games here and there is giving up 283 yards per game and is struggling with efficient passers.

Enter Kyler Murray, who is getting better and better each week, completing 79% of his throws with two straight 19-of-24 performances over the last two weeks, and now he’s on a deadly clip with 28 touchdown passes and just three picks on the year.

He’s in an unshakable groove.

Quarterback have failed to hit half of their passes over the last two weeks against the Red Raiders, but the big plays continue to be there. On the year, Texas Tech is 5-0 when opposing passing game averaged under nine yards per pass, and 0-3 when offenses connect on more than nine per throw.

Murray is averaging 12.7 yards per pass and was under nine yards just once this year – connecting on 8.9 yards per throw in the win over TCU.
